Then it will be that he who flees the report of disaster will fall into the pit,And he who climbs out of the pit will be caught in the snare;For the windows above are opened, and the foundations of the earth shake.
Do you not know? Have you not heard?Has it not been declared to you from the beginning?Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?
That you have forgotten the Lord your Maker,Who stretched out the heavensAnd laid the foundations of the earth,That you fear continually all day long because of the fury of the oppressor,As he makes ready to destroy?But where is the fury of the oppressor?
“O afflicted one, storm-tossed, and not comforted,Behold, I will set your stones in antimony,And your foundations I will lay in sapphires.
“Those from among you will rebuild the ancient ruins;You will raise up the age-old foundations;And you will be called the repairer of the breach,The restorer of the streets in which to dwell.
